GeneJ,
Yes, Henry Dearborn's Company is on the list of those captured at Quebec at the end of December 1775.Your man is listed, though the surname looks like "Presson".This is on Nat. Arch. Micropubn. 246, Roll 135, frames 644-645.
I forgot to mention that the Commissary of Prisoners at the time was Elias Boudinot.I have done a lot of looking but never found a collection of his personal papers (complicated by there being several notables by this name) or a cache of this department's papers.
Good hunting,
Jade
